Monty Don Breathes Sigh of Relief Following Critical Decision by Gardeners’ World Bosses
Monty Don, the prominent host of Gardeners’ World, recently expressed his relief following a significant decision by the show’s executives. The decision, which has been in place for many years, involves pausing filming during the winter months.
Filming Schedule and Monty Don’s Reflections
Since 2003, Monty Don has been a central figure on Gardeners’ World. He disclosed that filming typically halts at his Longmeadow garden from the end of October until spring. This seasonal break allows both the crew and Don to experience a moment of relief from the pressures of production.
In a recent interview with Gardeners’ World magazine, he shared that “we all breathe a sigh of relief” once the cameras stop rolling. The downtime not only eases the workload for the filming team but also provides Don and his family a chance to enjoy their garden without the presence of the film crew.
Team and Family Time
Don noted the importance of his gardening team, which consists of two full-time and one part-time gardener. Their efforts help maintain the lushness of the garden during the busy filming season. With the break in filming, the focus shifts to more personal gardening tasks and family activities.
- Filming resumes in spring.
- Don plans to address accumulated gardening tasks.
- He and his family enjoy more time together in the garden.
Upcoming Gardening Season
As winter approaches, Don anticipates one of his most active periods in the garden. He explained, “For the next month or so, we enter the busiest period of our gardening year.” This time allows him to undertake various housekeeping projects that he has postponed throughout the year.
Since succeeding Alan Titchmarsh on Gardeners’ World in 2003, Monty Don has established himself as an authority in the gardening world. He has published numerous books and appeared in various television programs. His expertise and passion for gardening continue to resonate with viewers
Return of Gardeners’ World
